Chapter 58 Keqing’s Intuition!
"But do you have any evidence to prove that the Rock God is not dead?" Mona questioned, "Or where did you get this news? Is the source credible?"

"Of course it's credible! As for the evidence, I have it too." Lu Shiyuan said directly, "I know the emperor's incarnation in the mortal world, and that incarnation is the emperor's true body, and it's still fine."

"Who is it?" everyone present asked in unison.

"Hehe..." Lu Shiyuan smiled mysteriously, "I won't tell you!"

"Damn it!" When everyone was almost out of breath, Paimeng, who had suffered from Lu Shiyuan's bad temper, was the first to react and shouted angrily, "Big liar! Do you know that you can easily be beaten to death on the spot if you talk like that?"

"Shi Yuan, what on earth are you doing?" Mona said unhappily.

"Ah." Lu Shiyuan sighed and explained, "I also want to say, have you ever had the experience of a secret answer that only you know and you absolutely cannot tell anyone?

If you have, you will definitely understand that I am also having a hard time holding it in now, but there is no way, I can't say it? "

"Why?" Ying asked anxiously.

"The Emperor faked his own death, intending to deceive everyone and secretly resign. In other words, he did not want anyone to know his identity in the mortal world.

I only know where his true identity is by chance. If I make this known, he will definitely blame me." Lu Shiyuan spread his hands and said helplessly.

"If that's the case, my brother's concerns are correct." Lu Qianzhi nodded, "You can't risk disrupting the Emperor's plan by revealing the Emperor's true identity.

The emperor faked his death, there must be a deeper meaning!"

"I think your Lord Rock is just like Wendy, he just doesn't want to work anymore." Paimon scratched his head and said, "Are all gods like this?"

"Impossible, how could the Emperor be so irresponsible?" Lu Qianzhi retorted firmly.

"Uh, Qianzhi, please say less." Lu Shiyuan was worried that his sister would say too much now and get slapped in the face after knowing the truth.

"If the God of Rock is faking his death, then what is his purpose?" Mona pondered.

"I know a little bit." Lu Shiyuan thought for a moment and replied, "The Emperor is doing this because he is ready to let go."

"What do you mean?" Mona asked curiously.

“Although he has ruled Liyue for 3,700 years, even a god would get tired. He cannot protect Liyue forever.

I think he wanted to see whether Liyue could support itself after his "death". He wanted to delegate power to the Liyue Seven Stars and let Liyue completely switch to "human rule". His death was a major test for the people of Liyue.

If the people of Liyue can survive the disaster with their own strength, then Liyue will usher in a huge growth that has never been seen in the past 3,700 years!" Lu Shiyuan expressed his understanding.

"Isn't this... Keqing's ideal?" Lu Qianzhi murmured, "I thought she was the most disrespectful person. Could it be that she is actually the one who best meets the emperor's expectations?"

"If what Shi Yuan said is true, I'm afraid so." Mona said with emotion after a moment of silence.

"So, what exactly is the test for Liyue?" Ying asked, "What should I do to get in touch with the Emperor of Rock... King."

"The Fatui!" Lu Shiyuan said firmly.

"The Fatui?" Lu Qianzhi and Mona found it difficult to understand.

"The Wind God of Mondstadt was attacked by the Fatui." Ying understood what Lu Shiyuan meant and explained, "It seems that they are not only planning in Mondstadt!"

"The Wind God was attacked?!" The two girls were not fools and quickly understood. "Could it be that the Fatui have plans to attack the Rock God?"

“I’m afraid so.” Lu Shiyuan said, “I think the Emperor must have noticed this and is going to use this to give Liyue a “test”.

Imagine if we were the fools, what would we do after learning that the emperor was dead? "

"Get the emperor's body and steal the heart of God!" Ying replied.

Obviously, she had learned about the existence of the Heart of God from Wendy. Fearing that the crowd might not understand, she explained what the Heart of God was.

"Yes, but the Emperor's "Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation" is not something you can take whenever you want. The Seven Stars will protect it with all their might. In order to obtain the "Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation", the Fatui will definitely find ways to sabotage it.

I guess this is the "test" set by the Emperor."

Lu Shiyuan and Ying talked to each other and explained the matter clearly. They cooperated very well, which made Lu Qianzhi feel that something was wrong when he looked at Ying.

However, just as she was about to ask something, her bell suddenly moved - someone was approaching!

"Oh no, someone is coming! Ying and Paimeng, hide quickly!" Lu Qianzhi shouted softly!

"Who are coming? How many people are there?" Lu Shiyuan asked hurriedly.

"Only one." Lu Qianzhi's expression was a little strange, "But... even if it's just one person, it's definitely more troublesome than a hundred Qianyan soldiers."

"What's the meaning."

"The person coming is——Keqing!"

“Hiss!” Lu Shiyuan gasped, “That stubborn girl is here! Ying, Paimeng, quickly get under the bed. Mona, let’s go out and deal with her!”

"Okay." Mona nodded solemnly.

Ying and Paimeng obediently crawled under the bed. Since Lu Qianzhi cleaned it frequently, the bed was not dirty.

After locking the guest room door, Lu Shiyuan and the other three tried to act as if nothing had happened and found something to do.

"Dong dong dong -" there was a knock on the door.

"I'm here." Lu Qianzhi calmed down and opened the door. "Keqing? Why are you here?"

Keqing strode directly into the house, closed the door, and stared at Lu Qianzhi with burning eyes, "Did you rescue those two wanted people?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan and Mona paused.

Lu Qianzhi was extremely nervous, but she still pretended to be stupid and said, "Wanted? Who is wanted?"

Keqing shook her head and did not refute Lu Qianzhi's words, but said calmly: "I learned from the Qianyan Army who were chasing wanted criminals that when they were arresting people, they were cast into a spell that made their bodies heavier.

During my investigation, I learned that you appeared at the ceremony of inviting the immortals, but disappeared after the Emperor was killed.

Therefore, I am 90% sure that you are the one who cast a spell on the Qianyan Army and rescued the wanted criminals!"

The evidence was irrefutable. Lu Qianzhi felt guilty and took a step back with his head down.

Lu Shiyuan and Mona knew they couldn't hide it any longer, so they walked over to Lu Qianzhi.

"You guys are so bold that you even want to protect the person who is suspected of assassinating the emperor!" Keqing put her hands on her hips, with a look of disappointment on her face.

"I'm sorry, it's me..."

Lu Qianzhi was about to speak, but Lu Shiyuan spoke first, "Those people are my friends, just come to me if you have any problem."

"Hmph! You're quite responsible." Keqing looked at Lu Shiyuan with appreciation, then smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not here to arrest you, otherwise I wouldn't come alone.

I came to you just to tell you that the two people you rescued are innocent! They have been cleared of suspicion!"
